absolutely spectacular concert, up there with the best since the reunion. first set is among the best first sets ever played imo, at least in terms of pure euphoric shock value (to go along with excellent playing). i mean, a type 2 roses alone would typically make for a noteworthy first set--and that's a near footnote in the overall story of this show.

i often put phish shows into buckets in my head according to a "horse rating," something my buddies and i have come up with over the years (origins unknown at this point). a below average show is a Donkey, a solid show is a Workhorse, a great show is a Racehorse and an epic show is a Stallion. well folks, this goes beyond even the stallion rating; this show is a goddamn Unicorn.
